Welcome! I’m Anna M. Conrad, a romance author. My debut series is set in the fictional town of Arundel Point on the coast of Maine. The first book in the series, Rising Tide – An Arundel Point Novel, is available now on Amazon as a paperback, ebook, and is free in the Kindle Unlimited library for a limited time! So please check it out.
A little about Arundel Point: Arundel Point can be found just about everywhere along the southern and mid-coast of Maine. This fictional town is part seasonal resort, part fishing village, which most of the small towns along the coast are in real life. I touch on the differences between the various populations: the folks from away (what Mainers call them) with their summer homes and cottages, the tourists (sometimes called flatlanders), and the locals. Life on the seacoast revolves around the tides and weather, so there will be elements of both in all the books in the series.
A little about the stories I write: I write about finding and falling in love, overcoming differences, and mending broken hearts against the backdrop and hardships of life. My later-in-life characters are what you’d likely find in a summer resort town in Maine: artists, lobstermen/women, harbormasters, coffee shop owners, boutique shop workers on over to the old-money wealthy elite, the famous, and of course, the occasional politicians.
A little about me: I grew up in southern Maine. While I moved away as an adult to pursue my life with my husband and family, I visit every chance I get and am lucky enough to have extended stays there. I love Maine (and have also grown to love Washington State, where my husband is from), and plan to move back there after my kids have started their lives in earnest. I hope you enjoy reading about Arundel Point as much as I enjoy writing about it!
